the thing about enjoying the direction you're running in is that there's always a return trip that you'll have to make. boo for return trips.
i decided to run a little further this week than last wed. so i kept on after 23rd, where i turned last week. i thought i'd just keep going till hillsdale, which i did, but hillsdale managed to be a lot farther from 23rd than i had thought it should be. i ended up running 2 miles more than i did last week, adding 30 seconds per mile to my time.
i have a friend who is getting in to running. he's really into it, doing interval training on a track, planning his runs beforehand, and doing all sorts of running sciency things. i don't do that, i just run, and try to run a little farther than last week, and try never to run less than last week.
also, i am getting pretty good results in both my cycling and my running by doing each only once a week. i was running on fridays too, but only for 2 miles. i didn't run last friday and i suspect i won't run this friday. i don't think the friday run really helps.
i'm bascially doing HIT for my aerobic activities. that's not supposed to work, but until it does stop working for me, i dig it.

more rude white people on the run today. i'm really disappointed in my neighbors. on an uphill stretch of alameda, stupid white lady with an SUV was putting crap into her SUV, which was parallel parked at the curb of the sidewalk I was running on. Next to the SUV was a big branchy overhanging bush. She put crap into the back seat, closed the door, saw me coming, about 10 feet away, then opened the front door, blocking, in concert with the bush, most of the sidewalk, and did whatever stupid crap she needed to do. She couldn't wait an extra 30 seconds for me to get past her, she had to block the sidewalk right as I reached her.
afterwards, I realized I should have bumped her and her door. "oops".
